Anna Stady loves to bake.
害羞草研究所淚 still rule my kitchen,害羞草研究所� said the 95-year-old, who does not take kindly to strangers rummaging through it 害羞草研究所� be they of the two-legged, or four-legged variety.
So when she came across a juvenile bear in the kitchen of her Union Bay home on Friday afternoon, she let it know it didn害羞草研究所檛 belong there.
害羞草研究所淚t was just after lunch,害羞草研究所� she said. 害羞草研究所淚 came in from the dining room and there he was. I said 害羞草研究所榳hat are you doing here? Get out of here.害羞草研究所� I didn害羞草研究所檛 push him, but I just sort of walked towards him and away he went.害羞草研究所�
The bear went into the middle of her yard, and after more coaxing from Stady, the bear left the property.
害羞草研究所淚 thought that was the end of that, so I went back into the house to watch television, and not too long after that I heard a racket in the kitchen,害羞草研究所� said Stady. 害羞草研究所淪ure enough, he害羞草研究所檇 come back. He害羞草研究所檇 pulled out the sugar bin and there was sugar all over the floor. He made a real mess.
害羞草研究所淲ell, now I was really cross with him, and I told him so. I said 害羞草研究所業害羞草研究所檓 really angry with you. Go home and don害羞草研究所檛 come back.害羞草研究所� I guess he believed me, because as far as I know, he hasn害羞草研究所檛 been back.害羞草研究所�
Stady said she has lived in the house for 50 years but this was the first time she害羞草研究所檚 ever had a bear on her property, much less in her house.
害羞草研究所淪omeone told me there are bears in the area but I don害羞草研究所檛 recall ever seeing one before,害羞草研究所� she said. 害羞草研究所淭hen again, I don害羞草研究所檛 get out much. I害羞草研究所檓 95 and I害羞草研究所檓 lazy.害羞草研究所�
She added she was never frightened during the ordeal.
害羞草研究所淚 never really thought about being frightened,害羞草研究所� said Stady. 害羞草研究所淗e was a beautiful bear. Black, shiny and really quite handsome.
害羞草研究所淭he bear and I got along just fine. I guess he knew he should just be a good kid and do as he害羞草研究所檚 told.害羞草研究所�
Conservation officers brought a bear trap out to the Stady residence Friday night, but the animal has not returned.
害羞草研究所淭here害羞草研究所檚 a nice container of honey in there for him but maybe he doesn害羞草研究所檛 like honey,害羞草研究所� Stady said with a laugh.
